Bao Yuanqian and the others returned the same way in the dust and came to the guard command yamen.

Before entering the hall, he heard someone in the hall greeting, Bao Yuanqian heard the voices of Deng and Li, but the other person was a little strange.

"Oh, Lord Dou, and rest in Suzhou Weixin for a few days." Li Chengen said.

Deng Pingyu also nodded and said, "Exactly, in a few days, the sand dam under this Manjushri Mountain will be lively." The annual Naadam Conference will be held, and the Mongolian people in the Kansai Seven Guards and the Hexi Pass will come to participate, and Lord Dou can go with us at that time. ”

This Naadam Conference, which is a traditional Mongolian festival that has been handed down since the Yuan and Ming dynasties, is once a year between the end of July and the beginning of August, when the Mongolians from a radius of thousands of miles will gather on the sand dam forty miles southwest of Suzhou Wei, and hold horse racing, wrestling, and archery activities.

Originally, it was not held here, but the Ming Dynasty made it easier for the Mongols to administer the annexed and confided areas, and beware of their secret collusion with each other on the pretext of convening Naadam, so they specially designated an area not far from Suzhou for them to celebrate their own traditional festivals.

Naturally, there are few special officials to monitor, which not only takes care of the national complex, but also facilitates the control of the imperial court, killing two birds with one stone.

Lord Dou smiled and said: "I see, this Naadam Conference is better than seeing it, but it is just that Xingdu Division is there, my father..."

"It's okay, it's okay, Lord Dou is there, we will tell you in writing, and stay in peace, and it's not too late to leave when Naadam is over."

When Lord Dou heard this, he naturally smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful, two adults, the lower officials will go back to the official post first." ”

When Lord Dou walked out, he happened to meet Bao Jiang and the two who were just about to enter, and the three of them glanced at each other, and Bao Yuanqian's eyes looked at Lord Dou straight.

That Lord Dou was stared at by Bao Yuanqian, and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly said, "My lord, please go first."

That Lord Dou snorted lightly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Bao Yuanqian stared at the man sideways, isn't he just a six-grade official, pretending to be a wolf with a big tail?

In terms of handsomeness, I'm afraid I can't compare to Lao Jiang, if I want to be a woman, I must choose Lao Jiang's type.

"Old Jiang, according to me, you have to be the one who can be called the Buddha in terms of appearance." Bao Yuanqian looked at the back of Master Dou leaving, and secretly poked and poked and said.

Jiang Wei saw that he was speaking some strange language again, what kind of standard Buddha, Luke himself couldn't understand any of them at first, and only later did he understand that standard Buddha is a local dialect in Bao Yuanqian's hometown, which describes the meaning of good-looking and handsome.

The two entered the hall to worship the two officials, and briefly recounted the experience.

Deng and Li were also a little surprised, they didn't pay attention to it a few days ago, they dealt with the military affairs and internal affairs of Suzhou every day, and they were very busy.

"How many people are needed?"

"Humble guess, if there are more than 1,000 people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to map and map the approximate situation." Bao Yuan Trunk Road.

Li Chengen made a difficulty, more than 1,000 people, and they still have to be surveying and mapping talents, those big-headed soldiers under his command, who has studied since he was a child? I can't even read all the words, let alone survey and map the terrain.

Jiang Wei said: "Two adults, you can concentrate the talents in the army who can survey and map the terrain, see how many there are, and then hand them over to me, maybe it will be slower, but over time, it shouldn't be a problem." ”

Now that there is no civilian constraint, they have begun to adjust their military strength. However, the civilian officials messed around with the deployment of the Suzhou Guards, which was already a miasma, and it could not be quickly put in place in a short time.

They deployed so many sergeants at one time, and Xingdu Si knew that they were afraid that they would be questioned, and if they sent more than 1,000 people to run down in one breath, it would be troublesome.

Now that Jiang Wei said this, there was no need to transfer too many sergeants, so he nodded and agreed: "It's exactly what I want, then I'll deal with this matter, and I'll notify you when everyone is ready." ”

Bao Jiang and the others were about to leave, when they saw a small school running from outside and handed over a cowhide letter, "Two adults, there is a strong man outside who asked me to hand over this letter to my adults." ”

Li Chengen was puzzled, took the cowhide envelope, started it thickly, and secretly said that the cowhide was of high quality, and took out the letter and unfolded it was full of Mongolian.

Deng and Li didn't understand the meaning, so they said to Bao Yuanqian: "You come to help us take a look, what do you mean?" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Wei knew that he should not stay for a long time, so he took his leave and retired with the small school.

Bao Yuanqian looked at the letter, his face changed, "My lord.... This is a letter from Warat Taishi, Ugqi Hashha. ”

When Deng and Li heard this, they hurriedly got up, looked at the letter excitedly, and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Bao Yuanqian read the letter and translated: "This Ugqi said that the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in our hands, Sarenya, is the future Khan concubine whom he appointed, and she secretly escaped from the Khan court before, hoping that we can ensure her safety, do not imprison her, and give her appropriate freedom." He has arrived at Hami in the Seven Guards of Kansai, and if we can send him to the Hami area for handover, he will thank him with great gifts. ”

The inscription is a special seal of the Khan court, which is the identity of this table.

Deng and Li were overjoyed in their hearts, and secretly said that their guesses and predictions were really good, this Ugqi person finally came!

The two hurriedly summoned people to let the strong man outside the door enter, and after a while, Bao Yuanqian saw a man with a Mongolian face, and the man knelt down and said: "Envoy under the account of the Taishi Warat, Turtu has seen two Ming lords. ”

Li Chengen let him get up and asked, "The person is in our hands, but I don't know what kind of gift this Taishi will give?" ”

Naturtu saluted, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "My master said that as long as the safety of Princess Sarenya can be ensured, there are all kinds of gold and silver treasures, cattle, sheep and horses, and beautiful slaves, let the two adults ask for it!" ”

Li Chengen laughed and said, "Although these things are precious, the two of us are not interested. ”

"What do you two want?"

Li Chengen glanced at Deng Pingyu, turned around and said: "I know that this time the Northern Yuan civil strife, the princess fled because of a piece of my Han family's heirloom treasure, the heirloom jade seal, yes or no?" ”

"This...."Turtu hesitated.

Li Chengen said with a smile: "This heirloom jade seal is a treasure of my Han family, but it was lost five hundred years ago, and for you Mongolians, it is just a broken stone and a collection." But for us Han people, it is a symbol of the orthodoxy of the Mandate of Heaven. ”

"And this princess of Beiyuan happens to be just a hostage to be sold for a price for us, but for your family master, she is the love of our hearts."

"Isn't it a win-win deal to exchange something that is of little value in each other's hands for something that is important to you? Isn't it a debatable business? ”

Turtu was a little silent and a little hesitant when he heard this, "Although your lord's words are reasonable, but I have no right to deal with this matter, let me go back and report to the Taishi and let him decide." ”

Li Chengen nodded, knowing that this matter was not in a hurry, so he said: "Okay, I'll wait for you, let your family master think about it." ”

Turtu added: "But the premise is that I should meet my princess, make sure she is okay, and give her the freedom she deserves, she is a child of the steppe, and she cannot live in a high-walled compound." ”

Li Chengen nodded, they had already arranged this, but it was prescient.

"Besides, don't mention that I am a person from the Grand Master, just say that I am an envoy sent by the Great Khan Kun Timur."

Deng Li and the others glanced at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but he still agreed, the most important thing at the moment is to get the jade seal first, as for who sent it, it doesn't matter.
